Verse 13
********
You left us on the battlefield many times;
in Korea, in Nam, on the St. Louis (adrift),
in England, on the shores of France.
There is blood on the fields of Gettysburg;
the hills of Vicksburg, and at Valley Forge;
and the list of places could go on of those
who sat at home involved not; caring not -
yet to get gain from the valor of others.
|
Verse 14
********
Don't you dare tell Father or others
of why you stayed behind or hid,
we see you hiding in bushes or trees;
on this battlefield today now as you
are ill prepared to eternally die;
for if the truth will be known -
either you are for Heavenly Father
completely to give forth your life;
or you are against Him -
and thus now will die.
